Security News > 2021 > November > Most SS7 exploit service providers on dark web are scammers

Are these hacking services as abundant as rumored, or is the dark web full of scammers that are merely waiting to snatch the money of aspiring spies?

Analysts at SOS Intelligence have searched the dark web for providers of SS7 exploitation services and found 84 unique onion domains claiming to offer them.

Upon trying to use its SS7 exploit kit, hoping for the implementation of an API mirroring function, the researchers got nothing as the service was offline.

These were most likely stolen from YouTube and had no relevance to the Dark Fox Market platform, which offers no working SS7 exploitation service anyway.

The above doesn't mean that there are no SS7 exploitation services on the dark web, but rather that the real ones are hidden behind membership-only hacking forums and marketplaces such as World Market.

Sophisticated threat actors have access to cellphone data through affiliations or their own operations, so they don't need to search for providers of SS7 exploit services.
